Offences and their Expiations 207
Answer: Except the hair of head, beard, neck and that of under-navel,
if one gets the hair of any other part of his body shaved, he will have
to pay Ṣadaqaĥ only.
Question 9: Is there any leniency for the person whose hair falls
involuntarily out of the disease of hair-falling
Answer: There will be no expiation even if, without him touching
the hair, all of his hair falls involuntarily.
Question 10: What will be the expiation, if a Muḥrim shaves another
Muḥrim’s head
Answer: If the time for the removal of Iḥrām has arrived, both of
them may shave each others’ hair. If the time for the removal of
Iḥrām has not yet arrived, there will be different rulings with regard
to expiation. If a Muḥrim shaves another Muḥrim’s head, expiation
will be due not only for the one whose head was shaved but the one
who shaved the head will also have to pay Ṣadaqaĥ. If a Muḥrim
shaves the head of a non-Muḥrim (the one who is not in the state of
Iḥrām) or trims his moustache or nail, (the Muḥrim) should give
some charity to the Masākīn. (Baĥār-e-Sharī’at, vol. 1, pp. 1142, 1171)
Question 11: Can a non-Muḥrim shave the head of a Muḥrim or not
Answer: He cannot do so before its proper time. If he does so,
expiation will become due not only for the Muḥrim, but the non-
Muḥrim will also have to pay Ṣadaqaĥ. (ibid, pp. 1171)
Question 12: What is the ruling if a Muḥrim has removed his hair
with depilatory [i.e. hair-removing] powder or cream
Answer: It is stated in Baĥār-e-Sharī’at: The ruling is the same
whether hair is shaved, cut, trimmed or removed using anything. (ibid)
